Dark Limerick
April 12, 2016
— #NaPoWriMo, beheading, dark, limerick, poetry
Globe
Circle
Executioner extraordinaire sailed to London from France
Her majesty was exposed to pomp and plenty of circumstance
Her death in public left politicians in peril, scattering like rats
Church tangled in the state’s affairs, power heading for collapse
Royal beheading, betrayal of honor, settled firmly with one glance
Call the servants to dress and groom the prisioner queen
Her ghostly praying is spooky, mumbled beneath this final scene
Gallows crowds fill the center courtyard to witness a royal flush
As her face is placed on the block the people respond with a hush
Followed quickly by gasping horror, then silence, cold and mean
NaPoWriMo2016
April is #NaPoWriMo, a time to write poetry. This prompt for a limerick of a dark and scary nature took me by surprise. I am sure it is my first limerick but will probably not be the last.
